I'm 6'4" 205 lbs. In Your Opinion Could I Beat Mayweather Or Pacquiao?

First I would like to acknowledge LegendOfLink for inspiring this post when he suggested that Pacquiao or Mayweather could knock out most of us here on NSB. As far as I go, I disagree. On to the tale of the tape: I stand 6'4" and weigh 205lbs. I'm a pretty descent athlete (i'm modest) as I once played collegiate basketball on the division 1 level for the Iowa State Cyclones. As a starter I might add! But that was over 10 years ago as I am older than Pac but younger than Floyd. I have no fighting experience inside the ring but plenty outside of it. Given my size advantages (and assuming I'd be given time to get back in shape) in your opinion, do you think that would be enough to overcome the smaller Mayweather or Pacquiao? Or would I end up face down after running into the ring post like Hatton?!

rush in a take 4 accurate flush punches to the face in 1 second...........i aint even a pro and you aint gone rush and tackle me son it's very hard to get away from someone when they tackle you, trust me, I've played contact sports where the sole objective is trying to avoid being tackled and even the best struggle to get away people don't want to hear their favourite fighter would take a beating but the truth is, if you take a pro boxers legs away, he's done go watch Toney v Couture

no chance in a ring, if you're a good wrestler you have a chance outside of it.

In a street fight, you'd kill one of them. In a sanctioned boxing match, negative.

weight/height < skills In the ring, Pac will box you circling for two minutes then you gasses out. In the remaining seconds, Pac will make you a target practice before he put you down to sleep. In a street fight, when you bull rush...Pac will only need one shot to your balls and sweet dream.

You wouldn't stand much of a chance, but there's no shame in that. Hardly anyone would. These are world class fighter.

If you're a ripped 205 and have fast hands/natural ability with some pop you're going to have a good shot but I don't know. The average big guy off the street would get sparked by these two dudes I guess.

Street fights usually have 0 technique..first one to land a solid blow wins most of the time fighters like Floyd or Pac will throw every punch "professionally" in the most effective manner.. It is entrenched in them to adapt and,move to throw a "professional" punch. Much like tiger woods hitting a golf ball. Some of em might not have the most perfect swing but it got them there.

Whoever it was that said Zab wasn't **** in a street fight.......ummm I just took a quick look and I'm pretty sure he throws a quick right and drops the guy, maybe it was too fast for you too see?

whats even funnier is that people think boxers never had a street fight..these guys fight for a living and are at the elite level they would beat your ass to death if they wanted to

That is if he can even come close to laying a hand on floyd... All floyd need is 1 check hook to land on a bum rushing 205 man... What the man need is a chin...Not to many boxers have the chin to take em far, the average joe don't go through the survival of the chinnest like fighters do. Even someone like amir kahn would have a better chin then someone off the steet.

Look when it comes to the ring oviously you would'nt stand a chance but i truly believe if a 205 pound man who can fight his fair share would anilihate mayweather on the street....What good is a shoulder roll when someone runs full belt and take you off your feet???if he clips you on the way wel maybe your done but what if he dont.... That is if he can even come close to laying a hand on floyd... All floyd need is 1 check hook to land on a bum rushing 205 man... What the man need is a chin...Not to many boxers have the chin to take em far, the average joe don't go through the survival of the chinnest like fighters do. Even someone like amir kahn would have a better chin then a random 6'4 dude off the street.
